Read every signal at a glance
The live map is your operations centre. Pulse halos call out actively-reporting vehicles, the layer switcher flips between roadmap / satellite / hybrid / terrain, and the safety advisor warns when conditions make travel risky.
Marker meanings
- Solid coloured dot — vehicle position. Colour = status (green=Active, grey=Inactive, amber=Maintenance, red=Decommissioned).
- Pulsing halo — last telemetry within 90 seconds. Wider halo if the vehicle is moving faster than 3 km/h.
- Permanent label — the registration number above the dot. Auto-shows for moving vehicles; tap "Labels on" in the legend to keep them visible for parked ones too.
- Green ring — vehicle is currently inside an active geofence; the popup names the zone.
Layer switcher
Bottom-left of the map. Open the menu to flip between four base layers and three overlays:
- Roadmap (default) — OpenStreetMap.
- Satellite — Esri imagery, useful for unmapped roads.
- Hybrid — satellite + road labels.
- Terrain — OpenTopoMap, useful for mountain routes.
- Overlays: Traffic / Weather: clouds / Weather: precipitation. Toggle independently of the base layer.
Follow a vehicle (movie mode)
- Tap the dot for the vehicle you want to follow.
- In the popup, tap ◉ Follow. The marker lights up amber.
- The camera glides with the truck on every telemetry tick — your zoom level is preserved.
- A pill bottom-left shows "Following GT-1234 · 62 km/h ↗" with a Stop button.
Drawing a geofence zone
Geofence buttons live on the left of the map. Each is labelled on phones and tooltipped on desktop.
- Tap the Polygon or Circle tool.
- For polygon: tap to drop vertices, click the first vertex to close. For circle: tap + drag to set radius.
- Name the zone in the dialog and save. The new geofence appears on the map immediately and the Getting-Started checklist ticks the "Set up geofence" step in real-time.
Weather safety advisor
The yellow / red banner at the top of the map is the rule-based safety advisor. Conditions like heavy rain (≥ 10 mm/h), gusts (≥ 60 km/h), thunderstorms, or extreme heat (feels like ≥ 42°C) flip it to "Strongly advised against driving"; lighter conditions yield "Drive with caution"; otherwise it stays hidden.
